Preservation / Curation of Games

  • 1.  Preservation / Curation of Games

    Hi All,

    I'm looking for other librarians interested in the preservation or data capture of research-level video game design going on at your academic campuses. This is a new, exciting area that covers both archival interests and data management requirements in the sticky wicket of interactive media. Strategies/solutions will likely be collaborative. Several universities are looking at these issues through the Preserving Virtual Worlds 1&2 projects, but I'm wondering if there are other contacts out there?
